LONGi’s has unveiled a suite of new technologies intended to demonstrate how the PV industry can innovate its way out of its current malaise.

The first Chinese polysilicon manufacturer has secured a certification from the Solar Stewardship Initiative’s (SSI) supply chain traceability standard.

Jim Wood, SEG Solar's CEO, explains the company's US manufacturing roadmap and why it chose heterojunction technology for its new facilities.

US module and soon-to-be cell manufacturer T1 Energy is looking beyond wafers and cells to catalyse domestic production of ancillary components such as glass, frames and even pallets—while tapping semiconductor industry talent to staff its expanding operations.

A new EU-funded project has launched, aimed at strengthening Europe’s capabilities in silicon ingot and wafer manufacturing.

German solar energy research institute ISC Konstanz has launched five new publicly funded research projects covering the full PV value chain.

Europe will not be able to produce a “disruption” in the solar manufacturing industry, according to Peter Fath, CEO of RCT Solutions.

Shreeyashi Ojha reports on a European PV recycling venture looking to maximise the value of materials recovered from end-of-life modules.

China, the world’s largest PV market, is poised to lead sustainable solar module recycling and circular manufacturing, writes Huan Li.

PVMRC's Michael Müller writes for PV Tech Power on the solar industry’s goal of circularity as more plants reach the end of their lifecycle.
